La temporada navideΓ±a ya estΓ‘ en marcha en Thoroughbred Lights de Rancho Cucamonga.
Mi noticia en ExcΓ©lsior California:
Pervasive ads for GoFundMe and "how to make a bunch of money by Christmas" don't feel like a sign of good things to come.

βPainful scarβ of San Bernardino mass shooting anniversary brings community together
My story in the @sbsun.bsky.social:
On December 2, 2015, a horrific terrorist attack took the lives of 14 people in San Bernardino.
Today, we mourn, remember and honor those we lost. #SanBernardinoStrong
The bell is rung a final 14 times for this year's ceremony.

Good afternoon.
I'm now at Cal State San Bernardino's Peace Garden, dedicated to the memory of five alumni who were murdered in the Dec. 2, 2015 mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino.
Correcting the (I hope obvious) typo: CSUSB's Peace Garden has featured a bell since 2016.
